Metaflow UI

Metaflow UI is a tool to monitor Metaflow workflows in real-time.

Getting started

Using Metaflow UI requires Metaflow Service for now.

To setup a local development environment, see docs/README.md.

Deploying the UI

Deploying Metaflow UI requires setting up a UI service (which is different from the Metaflow service but uses the same backing database). To deploy the UI service, follow instructions at Metaflow UI Service.

Docker support

Dockerfile provides support for an nginx container hosting the production build of the application.

# Build Docker image
$ docker build --tag metaflow-ui:latest .
# Run Docker container on port 3000
$ docker run -p 3000:3000 metaflow-ui:latest
# Run Docker container using custom API endpoint
$ docker run -p 3000:3000 -e METAFLOW_SERVICE=http://custom-ui-backend/api metaflow-ui:latest

For example, when used with a locally deployed Metaflow UI Service, the UI can be launched with

docker run -p 3000:3000 -e METAFLOW_SERVICE=http://localhost:8083/ metaflow-ui:latest

Dockerfile also supports the following environment variables to inject content into the UI's index.html:

• METAFLOW_HEAD - Inject content to head element
• METAFLOW_BODY_BEFORE - Inject content at the beginning of body element
• METAFLOW_BODY_AFTER - Inject content at the end of body element

Use cases for these variables range from additional meta tags to analytics script injection.

Example on how to add a keyword meta tag to Metaflow UI:

METAFLOW_HEAD='<meta name="keywords" content="metaflow" />'
